While I'm sure I've replaced a couple of knuckle springs over the past 40
years, it hasn't been a major issue with me in either HO or S. The operational
advantages far outweigh replacing an easily repleaced spring once in a while.
Things that move require the occasional maintenance or repair. I also recall
the old Model Die Casting HO knuckle coupler sticking a lot or not latching
when coupling up.
Even the protoype has problems with couplers now and again.
